The invention relatesto cushion seats of that type in which the skirt orfacing of the cushion embraces the spring frame and is secured to thebase thereof. It is the object of the present invention to provide asimple and inexpensive Imeans' of attaching the skirt to the base andthe invention comprises the construction as hereinafter set forth.

In the drawings:

A is the spring frame of any suitable construction, provided with a baseborderwire B, C is the cushion and D the skirt depending therefrom. I

To secure the lower end of the skirt to the frame I provide a securingmember of U-shaped cross-section, which is engageable with the baseborder wire B after the skirt is drawn thereover and is then clenched tohold the same from disengagement. As preferably constructed this securmgmember D is formed of a sheet-metal strip bent into U cross-section andlongitudinally fashioned to conform to the shape of the base.
